Ya Ya Ho :

In this section, visitors can enjoy a cavalcade of lights - halogen lamps, which are used in much of Maurer's work - in a demonstration of light's new role in a space. By using halogen bulbs, which require a smaller light source than incandescent bulbs, Maurer has expanded the possibilities of design. The Ya Ya Ho lighting system, with its halogen lamps and low-voltage, is set up by the user, who chooses the parts that best suit a given space. It proposes new ways in which light might function.

Light installation Symphonia Silenziosa (Silent Symphony), which incorporates the system, was used in an Issey Miyake fashion show (1999 Paris) to create a space that was imbued with subtlety and surprise. Maurer himself refers to this installation as a symbiosis of "light, shape, color and movement." Please enjoy the blue, floating space in the rear of Gallery 1.
